CF 4 and Alpha user points (Need Help)

Hello everyone.

I have a Joomla 1.5.24 site running CF4 RC2 and Alpha User Points 1.5.13 I am trying to make it so that on submision of a form the user is awarded points. I have read the documentation on how to do this and also read the post on here on how its done but I am not able to make it work. I believe it is because the post was using an older CF build.

Here is what I have done. I made the form and then on the events section I have added a custom event in the onSubmit section in this code I have:

<?php
$api_AUP = JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_alphauserpoints'.DS.'helper.php';
if ( file_exists($api_AUP))
{
require_once ($api_AUP);
AlphaUserPointsHelper::newpoints( 'plgaup_survey_submit' );
}
?>

I created and uploaded my xml file and it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alphauserpoints type="plugin">
	<rule>Submit a Survey</rule>
	<description>Points Assigned for submitting a Survey</description>
	<component>com_chronoforms</component>
	<plugin_function>plgaup_survey_submit</plugin_function>
	<fixed_points>true</fixed_points>
</alphauserpoints>

Now based on everything I have read this should be all thats needed but it fails to work. What am I missing?

Hi Webmosa ,

This looks OK to me - at least the ChronoForms specific parts look correct. I wrote this code I think - a long time ago and I don't recall clearly how it worked. I suggest you add some debug lines to output the data at various stages to see exactly what is happening.

I am not to familiar with debugging and chronoforums/joomla/useralphapounts can you point me in the right direction please

Hi Webmosa,

It's hard to be specific. I'd open up the files and add some echo statements to display values or line numbers to track down exactly what is happening. Not an easy execise if you aren't familiar with PHP and Joomla! :-(
